Perhaps nothing, says a lady in Home
and FuH, has to bear with greater abuse
in It's cooking than dried apple. The same
string of shrunken, well-dried quarters can
be stewed into a delicious or an abOmIn-
able connection, according to its right or
wrong management. Dried apple must
be Taisins, cUrauts, citron, prunes-au
dried fruits in ene-for many of us house
keepers through the summer months.
w hat pity not to cook this old standbyas
perfectly as possible, Did YOU ever see
a housewives help dump a generous apron
full of shriyeled dried apple quarters into a
stlngT allowance of hot water into a kettle
that is not half big enough for the fruit
when swollen, and then put the kettle over
a hot fire, which quickly cooks the lower
strata of apple into a scOrched mush and
sets the upper ones bebbing out of the ket-
tie onto the stove like so many live Great
ures2 She fops them back, chops them
down, and adds sugar or molasses before
half the apple IS half done, and with such
management she is able to fill pies and
sauce-b bowls with an unappetiZing stew,
thickened with chunks of withered, wzzled
fruit, as tough and hard as leather, and
favored with fakes Of burnt porcelain
scraped from the kettle bottom.
| like to swell each section of apple,
either by Steamlng or 10y long soak IN
cold water, before it is set cooking. Then
simmer the fruit very slowly and evenly in
plenty of hot, sweetened water. Don't
stir, don't chop, don't mUsh the apple, but
let the fruit stand in the kettle till par
tally cool; then spice or flavor and pour
out into sauce bowls the delicious, thor
oughly cooked whole apple quarters and
halves, as clear as amber and as firm as
trembling Jelly. If the apple is designed
for pies sift it through a cOlander before
spiclng.

ever dried apple was wanted for cooking,
but have learned that a better way is to
keep n stone jar of unstrung quarters in
the back pantry on an upper shelf if baby
has access TO the room. 1t is the children's
work to replenish this jar when it gets low,
and bringing the skeins of apple from the
garnet and unstringing the dried halves or
quarters helps occupy some restless hour
of rainy day.

THE HORTICULTURIST.

IIorticulturist is subordinate to agricul-
ture in its widest definition, but occupies a
cCmman ing position with reference to the
other divisions of agriculture from the
greater delinacy of its operations, and its
intimate relation to the finer attributes of
the homes of a people. The pioneer in a
new country usually carries on very little
OF horticulture, yet he lives far beneath his
possibilities on this very account. The
bonanza farmer cares nothing for horti-
culture, and knows nothing Of the delight
ful pCetical associations of farm life. The
charm of rural occupation lies in the field
of horticulture, and every farmhouse
should be surrounded by the accOmpani-
ments of an advanced horticulture. It
may have been grand to have had heoric
men and women brave the priyatiOns and
dangers of pioneer life to secure highly
I cultivated acres for their children, but it is
leathenish for those children to live upon
these same farms without the highest en-
beiISumeuts and most delicate comforts
that an advanced horticulture can afford.

/ We cannot afford to live upon farms without

agencies that elevate farm life above the
